INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
INPUTS
A maximum of six low-impedance dynamic, ribbon
or condenser (capacitor) microphones may be con-
nected to receptacles marked INPUT 1 through INPUT
6. With
MICILINE switches set to MIC, the inputs will
accept signals from the above microphones or
micro-
phone-level signals such as the low-impedance
microphone-level outputs of mixers. With
MICILINE
switches set to LINE, the inputs will accept balanced
600-ohm line-level signals.
30
VDC:
The attached cables and rear-panel jacks
supply 20 to 34 Vdc (6.0
mA at 27 Vdc) from an as-
sociated Shure mixer to power the M677. In addition,
the M677 may be powered from a Shure
A67B battery
power supply. NOTE: For use with Shure M68 Series
Mixers, connect only the red 30 VDC cable to the M68;
ground connection is provided through the phono or
microphone cable.
CAUTION: If the
A678 is used, the M677's attached
power cables should be insulated to avoid accidental
shorting or grounding.
OUTPUTS
MIC OUTPUTS:
The receptacle marked MIC OUTPUT
has either low- or high-impedance microphone-level
output selected by the switch above the receptacle.
This output is designed for connection to a 25 to 600
ohm microphone input or to a high-impedance micro-
phone input of an amplifier or tape recorder. (This
output may be used simultaneously with the MIX BUS
AND AUX OUTPUT connector.) See section on
CONNECTIONS for instructions on connection to a
high- or low-impedance balanced or unbalanced line.
MIX BUS AND AUX OUTPUT:
It is important to note
that both mix bus and aux output functions are fed
through the same connector. The unusual circuit
design associated with this output enables it to be
connected to a mixer, tape recorder or amplifier aux
input (47 kilohms) or a Shure mixer mix bus (3.5
kilohms). This connector cannot be used to drive
both
a mix bus and aux input at the same time, because
connection to a mix bus (about 3.5
kilohms) will reduce
the signal at this connector to a level which is too low
for most aux inputs. Note that when connected to an
AUX input, the MIX BUS AND AUX OUTPUT connector
cable should be 3m (10 ft) maximum; when connected
to a mix bus input, the cable may be up to
30m (100 ft).
For mix bus connections such as stacking several
M677's, this jack may be used with the supplied phono
pin connector cable and a
"Y"
adapter. If this jack
is
to be used to drive more than one input, a
"Y"
adapter
should also be used. See section on
CONNECTIONS
for instructions on connection to mating phono plug.
30
VDC:
The rear-panel 30 VDC jacks may be used
as output jacks to provide power to an additional M677
(as well as input jacks from an external battery sup-
ply) when the M677 is powered through the 30 VDC
attached cable connectors.
CONNECTIONS
The microphone inputs and output are three-pin
professional connectors (designed to mate with Cannon
XL series, Switchcraft A3
(Q.G.)
series or equivalent).
